Spoke too soon. The CEL is back on with a Code 45 now attached. Can't even
find a ref for that. Going to go get the OBDi checked for the real codes.

Re: 97 Cher Sport Check Eng Light Code 12
You (the group) might be on to something. The negative pole was fine -
clean and dry, but the poisitve pole, while looking clean, when I took it off was moist. Probably wicked up from one of those anti-corrosive pads insatlled with the battery 2 years ago. So far (12 hours) the CEL is off.
